Patent GB-2375850-A (GB)
Title: System and method of providing end-user with control of filtering electronic mail prior to download from the internet service provider
Inventor: AVRAMIDES AVRAAM
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2001-05-23
Abstract: A software programme providing an interface for e-mail users to connect to an e-mail server with the ability to use view, search, send and delete function buttons. This process occurs at the e-mail server during initial connection, replacing automatic unmonitored downloading to the users personal computer. Once the user has selected which e-mails are required the user can request to download or delete selected e-mail at any time. The programme offers the user choice and preference in monitoring which e-mail they receive "prior" to downloading.
Patent GB-2375752-A (GB)
Title: Hydraulic jib crane for a vehicle
Inventor: DEAN GRAHAM
IPC: B60P1/54
Filed: 2001-05-24
Abstract: A jib crane suitable for mounting in a vehicle comprises a vertical column 2 mountable on the vehicle floor and the upper end of the column 2 adapted to mount to the side wall of the vehicle, preferably by means of slidable fixing bracket and the use of the door hinge bolts. An arm 6 is pivotably mounted on the column 2 preferably by means of a boss 4. The arm 6 is capable of rotation in a vertical plane by the action of a hydraulic cylinder 5, which is slidably mounted at 14 on to the arm 6 and preferably locked into various positions by a pin 15. The other end of the cylinder 5 is mounted on the lower part of the column 2 preferably by means of a boss 3. The jib arm 6 is allowed to rotate in a horizontal plane by the boss's 3 and 4 which preferably have annular needle bearings 8 and 9 to aid its rotation.
Patent GB-2379813-A (GB)
Title: An electronic in-line outdoor lighting switch responsive to ambient light
Inventor: CHI CHENG CHING
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2001-07-17
Abstract: The main switch circuit 40 and the control circuit 30 are both fed through an input bridge rectifier 22. When light falls on photoresistor 31, its resistance falls, turning on transistor 32 and so disabling the gate circuit of the thyristor 41. Alternatively, the photodetector 31 may be a photodiode, phototransistor or photo-SCR, and the main switch 41 may be a transistor instead of an SCR. The circuit may be applied in AC or DC systems. Variable resistor VR allows sensitivity adjustment. Zener diode D2 and capacitor C stabilize the power supply of the control circuit 30. A Rise 21 and connector 11 are provided. The lighting switch 100 may be enclosed in a housing with a window (410, figure 3) transparent to ambient light.
Patent GB-2377731-A (GB)
Title: Rotor shaft assembly for a gas turbine engine
Inventor: TOWNSEND JAMES MARTIN
IPC: F02C3/107
Filed: 2001-07-21
Abstract: A rotor shaft assembly for a gas turbine engine 10 includes a downstream turbine shaft 34, an upstream fan shaft 32 and a safety shaft 40. The turbine shaft 34 and the fan shaft 32 are connected by a splined connection (36, figure 1) which allows turbine shaft 34 to drive fan shaft 32. If, during operation, the fan shaft 32 should break, the turbine shaft 34 is brought into driving engagement with the safety shaft 40 via complimentary sets of teeth 60, 62. The driving engagement of the turbine shaft 34 and safety shaft 40 may cause the turbine shaft 34 to break at a weakened region 64 to allow axial movement of the turbine shaft 34, such that a turbine stage (24 figure 1) can come into contact with a fixed structure and prevent an over-speed condition.
Patent GB-2377997-A (GB)
Title: Connection of a non-perpendicular optical fibre to an optical device
Inventor: HURR CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: G02B6/26
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A fibre block 100 for connecting optical fibres 104 to an optical device 102 comprises a lithographically defined front face and a plurality of recesses 118,120 for optical fibres 104 extending linearly from the front face in a plane which is substantially perpendicular to the front face, at an angle within that plane which is non-perpendicular to the front face. The block can be rectangular with recesses for the optical fibre formed in it in a non-perpendicular arrangement. The block 100 is preferably formed as two mating parts 114,116 each with aligned recesses 118,120 on their mating faces, thereby to permit an optical fibre 104 to be held in a pair of recesses 118,120 one on each part. The recesses 118,120 can end with a locally narrower portion which acts as an end stop for the fibre 104 thereby to permit it to be located accurately. The recesses 118,120 are preferably V-grooves and the block 100 is preferably of silicon. A method of forming a fibre block 100 is also disclosed, consisting of the steps of lithographically defining at least one edge thereof, lithographically defining a recess 118,120 for seating an optical fibre 104, the recess 118,120 extending to the edge, wherein the recess 118,120 subtends an angle at the edge which is non-perpendicular.
